There is no doubt that the world of esports is growing and that there are a lot of gamers out there that can now make a living from playing games professionally. Turtle Entertainment and Calibur11 have teamed up to create some great opportunities for gamers in Europe.
Until now the esports scene is dominated by Starcraft 2, but this partnership aims to promote Fifa 11 to Call of Duty Black Ops.
Throughout May and June Calibur11 will be running tournaments and offering prizes of some amazing gaming gear. The tournaments will be held by Consoles Sports League (CSL), which is owned by Turtle Entertainment.
“Calibur11 is a brand built from the ground up to provide everything the avid gamer needs to get the most out of their console” said Phu Tien, International Sales Manager of Calibur11. “We are very happy to be able to work with Turtle Entertainment and provide prizes to their devoted and talented gaming community.”
“Most of the present-day video game players are exceptional people who strive for individualism and uniqueness. Together with Calibur11 we can offer them a fun way to achieve this while competing in exciting gaming cups” said Stefan Weber, Community Manager CSL at Turtle Entertainment.
